Appeal to Race Voters
SUPPORTERS OF MAYOR HARRISON MAKE PERSONAL APPEAL TO COLORED VOTERS; MINISTERS DIRECT FACTIONS; REV. SHAMBOURGER LEADS SPEAKERS INTO CHURCHES AGAINST PETTY-RYANS TICKET Rev. Troutman Charges Some Of Fellow Preachers With Double Crossing; Arrest Of Officer Sheppard Debated A personal appeal to the colored voters of Louisville, sent out by the supporters of Mayor William B. Harrison, was printed in card form and distributed among the citizens by colored workers during the week. Urging the colored people to vote for the Harrison ticket at the primary August 1, instead of the ticket headed by Sheriff Hubbard R. Petty and Charlie Ryans the personal appeal says: "Mayor William B. Harrison was drafted by the Repblican Party to run for Mayor in 1927, and was elected after a remarkable campaign. The colored voters of the City played an unusually important part in that election, because they were suffering under a reign of terror inflicted upon them by the Democratic Police. Mayor Harrison redeemed the City from Democratic misrule, he restored decent government and effectually ended the mistreatment of the colored people by the Democratic Police. He has made a splendid Mayor for all the people of the City. Now Mayor Harrison and the Harrison ticket are being bitterly assailed by Sheriff Hubbard R. Petty and a group of disappointed Republicans. The Republican Party under its present leadership [has the?] confidence of the City of [Louisville, but?] how long would that confidence last under the leadership of Hub Petty and Charley Ryans? Not long, and a return to Democratic misrule would be the inevitable result. There is only one way to prevent this happening and that is to support Mayor Harrison and the entire Harrison ticket at the coming primary." Rev. Shambourger Heads Church Speakers; Harrison Victory Certain In addition to the printed personal appeal sent out by the Mayor's supporters, a "flying squadron" of ministers and others headed by the Rev. N. B. Shambourger of the R. E. Jones Methodist Temple are speaking to large crowds in several of the churches in interest of the Mayor's ticket. While the campaign among and by the colored constituents is creating a great deal of interest, it is the opinion of leaders that few of the colored voters are going to show ungratefulness for what Mayor Harrison has done during his administration by voting against his ticket August 1, that Negroes know that Louisville has made more progress in every way, that they have received more rcognition politically during the Harrison incumbency than during any other time, and that they are not going to "kill the goose that lays the golden eggs" August 1. That Mayor Harrison's ticket will win over that headed by Sheriff Petty and Charlie Ryans is regarded as an absolute certainty, but the Harrison supporters are leaving nothing unturned as the primary day approaches, that the voters may be so aroused and the defeat of the Petty and Ryans organization so overwhelming that the force of it will insure Mayor Harrison's election for governor of Kentucky over Judge Ruby Lafoon, the Democratic condidate, in November by a victory just as decisive. Arrest Of Officer Sheppard Scored The arrest of Officer James Sheppard by deputies from Sheriff Petty's office last Tuesday gave the speakers for Mayor Harrison more admunition, and they are using it with telling effect. Officer Sheppard was arrested with Sergt. Chester A. Mills, white, both were charged with violating civil service regulations by engaging in political activities. The warrants sworn to by Herman George and George Eaton, colored, specified the statutory offense of intimidating voters in favor of the Mayor Harrison ticket. The arrest of Sheppard is being characterized by the Mayor Harrison speakers as most outrageous, the brutality of it being likened unto that of 1927 when the Democratic police (Continued on page 8)

BLUE GRASS LEADERS FOR LEWIS Colored Republican leaders from out in the state were in Louisville last week in interest of the candidacy of James R. Lewis of Georgetown, Ky., who is a candidate for Railroad Commissioner. According to these leaders Mr. Lewis is a young man who deserves the vote of every colored man and woman of his district, which includes Louisville and Jefferson County, and they were highly pleased with the responses they received from the local leaders with whom they conferred while here last week. Mr. Lewis, a young business man of Georgetown, has dealt with colored people of that section in such a way as has made him many friends. Race leaders of Lexington, Georgetown and Frankfort are loud in their praise of Mr. Lewis, and those who are promoting his candidacy are appealing to the colored voters of Louisville and Jefferson County to vote for James R. Lewis for Railroad Commissioner at the primary Saturday, August 1.
